WASHINGTON -- The Federal Election Commission has made public its final action on five
matters previously under review (MURs). This release contains only summary information. Closed
files should be thoroughly read for details, including the FECs legal analysis of
the case. (Please see footnote at the end of this release.) Closed MUR files are
available in the Public Records Office.

It requires the votes of at least four of the six Commissioners to take any action. The
FEC can close a case at any point after reviewing a complaint. If a violation is found and
conciliation cannot be reached, then the FEC can institute a civil court action against a
respondent.
